Hill?s astonishment at receiving mainstream acclaim for music once deemed insignificant testifies to the explosion of this truly revolutionary art form. Hip hop music and the culture that surrounds it?film, fashion, sports, and a whole way of being?has become the defining ethos for a generation. Its influence has spread from the state?s capital to the nation?s capital, from the Pineapple to the Big Apple, from ?Frisco to Maine, and then on to Spain. But moving far beyond the music, hip hop has emerged as a social and cultural movement, displacing the ideas of the Civil Rights era. Todd Boyd maintains that a new generation, having grown up in the aftermath of both Civil Rights and Black Power, rejects these old school models and is instead asserting its own values and ideas. Hip hop is distinguished in this regard because it never attempted to go mainstream, but instead the mainstream came to hip hop. The New H.N.I.C., like hip hop itself, attempts to keep it real, and challenges conventional wisdom on a range of issues, from debates over use of the ?N-word,? the comedy of Chris Rock, and the ?get money? ethos of hip hop moguls like Sean ?P. Diddy? Combs and Russell Simmons, to hip hop?s impact on a diverse array of figures from Bill Clinton and Eminem to Jennifer Lopez. Maintaining that Martin Luther King, Jr.?s ?I Have a Dream? speech is less important today than DMX's It's Dark and Hell is Hot, Boyd argues that Civil Rights as a cultural force is dead, confined to a series of media images frozen in another time. Hip hop, on the other hand, represents the vanguard, and is the best way to grasp both our present and future. 606 $aHip-hop 606 $aAfrican American youth$xSocial life and customs 606 $aAfrican American youth$xSocial conditions 606 $aAfrican American youth$xPolitical activity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions$y1975- 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs$y1971- 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1980- 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHip-hop. 615 0$aAfrican American youth$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aAfrican American youth$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAfrican American youth$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 676 $a305.896/073 700 $aBoyd$b Todd$01046660 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450206503321 996 $aThe new H.N.I.C.
